Didn’t I say hang in there?
Valve have made known that an update to its Orange Box for Xbox 360 has been made available via Xbox Live. I believe this is the second update to the Orange Box for the console. The update addresses mostly issues regarding the Team Fortress 2 multiplayer component of Orange Box. Here are the changes:
- Reduced network bandwidth usage in multiplayer.
- Improved overall game performance.
- Arranged search results to favor preferred host conditions.
- Improved searching for ranked games.
- Addressed a possible false report of too little storage space on larger hard drives.
The issue of ‘lag’ has been a common problem to many Xbox TF2 players since the game went retail. This update will be of great interest to them.
So there you go. Support your local Sentry Gun by clubbing a Spy in the head.
Now if only they could fix the lag issues in their SDK.
